Hexagon Tutorial List

Looks like we lost this in the new forum software, so let's get this list going again. Maybe a mod could sticky this?? If EZ and CG Creams don't come around, I have many of their links as well, I just have to dig them out.

I am back.
I am not ready to start recording tuts again yet, but hope to get back at it soon.
I am no longer using windows at all.
Made the switch over to Linux.
Getting set up to do everything a real learning experience.
Got Hexagon installed today. Starting to test out some recording software.
Still have to install a video editor and converter.
I will start dropping in more often.
Thanks for the good comments

Is there any tutorial that helps a misinformed artist (my kingdom is filled with ignorant bigots) to aid with tiling textures.

Example: My castle has a road 10x100 in the front. I'd like to make a texture 10x10 and repeatedly place it along the road, at least 10 more times. It will have my face, you see, so my peasants know who their king is.

Exploring this tool Hexagon proves to be a bit overwhelming, you see...

It should be noted that you may not be able to access all of the tutorials that are held on the old DAZ 3D server.

E.G. The first one on the artzone list 'hexagon basics ' returns a '404: page not found' error.
Others bring up the correct page but images may not show since their links will be pointing to a page that is no longer valid.

For beginners to hexagon, like me, a tutorial without images is like an hourglass without sand. You can see the outline but you're missing the important bit.

Since Hex does not render, it is not very efficient to think tiling textures in Hex but in the app you plan to use to render the scene.

What app would that be? What kind of help do you need? Ask a more specific question(s).

Would like to let all know that I just found that the A Simple Dress Video tutorials by Jen Greenlees are now on YouTube I just came across them searching for some other tutorials and wanted to share that they are viewable again on YouTube. These were the first Hexagon tutorials that helped me really learn and come to enjoy using Hexagon hope they help teach others as well

Not sure where my basic Hexagon tutorials are I did for the PoserPros Hexagon forum I moderated quite a while a go now, but if I can dig them up from whatever old hard drive they are on and find a place to post them (free) I will make them available again.

Do you happen to know it the videos from the pdf manual are around anywhere on the web? Art Zone is totally dead on that stuff. It's a shame. That stuff didn't take up a whole lot of storage space. But now everyone getting the manual gets broken links. Too bad - I heard it was a nice feature.

Edit...
Hey many thanks for this awesome thread. Very helpful and thoughtful of you.

Here is a link to my personal site which has the videos better implemented. You can view the playlist chapters from the playlist button at the bottom of the player. http://daniel-ripley.co.uk/hexagon.html

Excuse me, but I've got the same question. I'm just reading the manual to Hexagon from here - http://docs.daz3d.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/public/software/hexagon/2/userguide/hexagon_manual_us.pdf and links to the. mov files are broken. I have Adobe Acrobat 7 and Quick Time 6.5 installed. Which version of Acrobat Reader is this manual for and how to view these videos with Quick Time, if Acrobat cannot open them on clicking automatically? (For some other embedded movies in PDFs it worked fine for me before).
